My Uncle Is Not Pablo Escobar
Brixton House
LATIN AMERICANS are one of the fastest-growing immigrant communities in Britain. Despite this fact, recognition of Latin Americans and Latinx people as an ethnic identity in Britain has been largely ignored by official records for many years.
Furthermore, this under-represented community of first, second and third-generation Latinos has often been reported on exclusively through the lens of crime, immigration, or drug-related stories in the media rather than any accomplishments and successes.
My Uncle is Not Pablo Escobar, co-created by Valentina Andrade, Elizabeth Alvarado, Lucy Wray and Tommy Ross-Williams, attempts to put the record straight by exploring the diversity and vibrancy of this thriving community.
